A BAD NASAL ORGAN.

For over four years I have been great sufferer from terrible form of Nasal Ca :arrh. was greatly annoyed with con stant roaring in my head and my hearing became very much impaired.
 The discharge from my nose was profusc and very offensive, and my general health impaired. I tried most all prominent physi- cans, but they did not cure me; and I used various advertised preparations without ben eft.
 One day Il chanced to read remarkable article written by prominent citizen of Athens, Ga. stating that he had been per mancntly cured by the use of eight bottles of B. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm. Being skcp- itcal on the subject, wrote to him about it and received a most encouraging answer to the effect that he had been cured long enough 10 be thoroughly satisfied that no re- turn of the disease would epsue.
 then sent to the dug store of T. E. smith x Bro, and purchased B. B. B., and to my utter astonishment and satisfaction, the use of ten bottles has restored my general health, stopped the roaring sensation, entire ly healed and cured the nasal catarrh, and l am proud to recommend blood remedy with such powerful curative properties
 I shall continue its use little longer and feel confident that will be entirely cured of one of the most obstinate cases of nasal ca tarrh in the country.
 The business men of our town know ofmy case. NC. EDWARDS.

The Cypsies.

Are they the oldest race on earth, and have they worn out all the gods! Have they worn out all the hopes and fears of human hearts in tens of thousands of years, and do they merely live ac. acquiescent to fates For some have thought to trace in the older races an apathy, as with the Chin ese,. religion of moral maxims and some few joss. house supersti. tions, which they themselves know to be naught, wOrshipping their an cestors, but with no vital living force, like that which drove Mo- hammed's bands to jealous fury, like that which sent our own Puri. tans over the sea in the Mayfow- CT. No living faith. So old, so very, very old, older than the Copts of Egypt, older than the Az. tees; back to those diE Sanskrit times that seem like the clouds on the far horizon of human experi- ence, where space and chaos begin to take shape, though but a vapOr. So old, they went through civiliza. tion 10000 years since; they have worn it all out, even hope in the future. The crescent moon, the evening star, the chatter of the fern own, the red embers of the wood fire, the pungent smoke blown round about by the occasional paffs of wind, the shatlowy trees, the sound of the horses cropping the grass, the night that steals on till the stubbles alone are light among the field-the gypsy sleeps in his tents on mother earth; it is, you see, primeval man with prime val man with primeval nature. One thing he gains at least-an iron health, an untiring foot, women whose backs bear any burden, children whose naked feet are not afraid of the dew.-Chamber's J Ournal.

Meeting an Angel.

An old clergyman over eighty years of age, who had spent fifty years of his life in a parish of New England, met d little boy on the street who had never seen him be- fore. "Good morning, my little child," he said; "what is your namew AS he spoke he laid his reverend hand upon the little fel- lows head. The boy told him his name, and the gentleman said, 70, 1 am glad to see you! hoped to meet you; l have been looking for you. l knew your dear mother who is now in heaven." The child ran home, and almost breath lessly exclaimed: 70, Auntie dear, 1 met an angel from heaven, and he knows my dear mamma up there, and stopped me on the street to tell me-" The long sil. very hair of the aged messenger ot God, and his saintly face, with his kind words spoken, made this beautiful impression on the mind of the motherless child Baptist Weekly.

 Sitting down near the table she opened the we'll worn leaves When she came across the old time map of Europe criss-crossed by pencil marks, her face softened, and as she bent over 10 kiss the soiled and disfeured continent, two tear drops were mingled with the blue waters of the sea.

He sleeps: what need to question now If he were right or wrong! He knows ere this whose cause is just In God, the Fathers sight.

Disposition.

why ulu A. HeNc cT SuCCteu III trader. asked an American who returned to New York after many years absence in Europe. He had sufficient capital, thorough knowledge of his business, and ex. ceptiOnal shrewdness and sagaci. ty."
 ''He was sour and morose," was the reply. "He always suspected his employees of cheating him, and was discourteous and grufi to his customers. Hence no man ever put good. will or energy into work done for him, and his patrons went to shops where they were sure of civiIity."
 One of the ablest strategists among American generals in the Civil War was held back from pro- motion, because as was stated, bis doubting, Respondent temper dis couraged his staff and his men.
 Haydon, the historical painter, was possessed of an undoubted genius, but he lived in misery and died by his own hand. Poor Benr wrote one of his friends the day after his death. "he had all the good gifts of life but hope and hn. manity."
 Of Leigh Hunt, on the contrary, it was said that as fast as his ,al- ent and kindly heart won him friends, his frivolous insincerity drove them away.
 A wealthy manufacturer Ill one of our Middle States, who had for many years control of thousands of men, said lately; Nothing in- tiuences a mans career in life so much as disposition. He may have capacity, knowledge, social position or money to back him at the start, but It is his disposition that will decide his place in the world at the end. Show me a man who is, according to popular prej- udice, victim to bad luck, and l will show you one who has some unfortunate twist of temperament that invites disaster. He is ill- tempered, or conceited, or trifiing lacks enthusiasm"
 Disposition may he defined as the unconscious tendency of the whole nature. Two men may have the same intellectual powers, the same religious faith, honesty, loyalty to their friends. skill and experience; yet one is cheerful, heathy in mind. enthusiastic, ai- fectiOnate; the other morbid, leth- argic and suspicious. One be- comes a motive power in the world, the other a dead weight.
 Temperament is hereditary, but it is influenced and sometimes changed by the home atmosphere of early childhood.

THE STORY OF A BOOK.
BY BENJAMIN NORTHRUP.

The housemaid had found it il an old cedar box in the attic and put it beside volume of Dickens on the middle shelf of the library bookcase. It was little, square green-covered, dog cared, round cornered geography. It was pub lished when the art of geography making was, comparatively speak ing, in its infancy. It's maps had blue seas, green, red, white, yell low, purple, brown and many oth- CT colored lands, and it was em. bellished with odd pictures of still odder people, dressed more singu. larly still. who have become en tirely extinct long since the artist who drew them died, if the geog' raphies of the present day are re- liable in their illustrations.
 The advent of this old-fashiOned volume among the richly bound books in the library caused a Hut ter of excitement not unmiugled with indignation.
 "I can't see for the life of me-" exclaimed a collection of Matthew Arnold's essays, "why this com. mon book should force himself up- on our company"
 No, nor l." responded the Dickens novel, sharply. ''lf this library is to be turned into a liter ary junk shop we might as well be in a secondhand store at once."
 "Yes, indeed,' echoed in unison a row of Scotts novels, which stood like line of British soldiers with bright red suits, on an oppO. site shelf.
 "Come, what have you got to say for yourself!" inquired grufi old Ben Johnson. "What made you stick yourself in here against our con sent!'
 "I didn't want to cOme," an. swered the Geography, mildly. "Indeed, didn't. It wasn't my fault. I was lying in the old ce. dar chest in the attic, where l have lain ever since she grew up and where l would have been now but -"
 "Shew interrupted Dickens. "WhO is she, pray"
 "Why, don't you know her!' re- piled the Geography. in amaze ment. "I thought you must know her. She used to study me when she was a little pink faced girl, years and years ago. She ana Jack used to study me together. They were very fond of me, and l suppose that is the reason l have been kept so long,
 "Jack" again inquired the in quisitive Dickens, "whO is Jack"
 "Jack," continued the Geogra- phv enthusiastically, twas the hands omest boy l ever knew, and knew a whole generation of boys and girls, too. l ought to know them well, for l was read, thumbed and studied by them for nearly for ty years before Jack found me on the book shelf in his fathers libra ry, where his elder brothers had left me when he finished school and went tn sea-"
 "That doesn't explain how you happened to he here,' interposed Ben Johnson, rudely. "Come, tell Us that"
 Il was just about to tell you,' continued the Geography. You see, Jack took me to school with

FARMERS in many parts of the United States are becoming very tired of being harassed by men who claim to represent their Interest by starting a new party and calling it a labor party, anti poverty society or something calculated to raise the leader to notoriety and office and nothing more. We cite for instance old Ben Butler who for down-rlght oppression of those in hls power is not surpassed by any man. He has accumulated his millions by his op. pression of poor people, yet he claims to be the laborlng mans 8 friend and always runs for office on that ticket when he gets chance.- Conway Log Cabin

others to pray ;a denied, and regard ed as injudieious, and contrary to the spirit of oar holy religion, since, tile performance of religions rites and ceremonies is relegatcd to the yolition of all rational beings. Upon this hypothesis the directors and parents acted. While 1t would have been more than gratifying to them, doubtless, for their children to recog- nize the Deity in prayer, they did not feel authorized under the high sanction of the statute book of Ar kansas or of God to enter into co ercive measures; nor were they vii ling to uphold the teacher in the is suance of such mandatory measures, believing that if she had the author ity to require them to pray she had alike authority to fiat them to preach, or to expouse the creed of some one of the evangelical churches. Now if she had such authority, will Bum mer please answer?
 We care not to reply to Bummer's slang, but leave this part of his lit tleness to the good taste and lntelli- gence of the public upon which to pass sentence.

TIE "bosses" of the union labor party must have five cents from ev- cry member or go hungry. The or ganizers must be paid for travelling over the country to tell the people how bad they are imposed upon by the old parties and must have it ev- cry month. Now, five cents 8 month is 60 cents year, and for 1000 members is $500 per year. Suppose they have membership of 8 100000 and each one pays five cents month, in two years, $l20 900 would go into the pockets of the organizers for election purposes. This looks. to us, like making a business out of politics, and a pay ing one to. It is certainly great advance on the methods of the old parties. Yet our labor friends tell us it is crime to use money in politics, and we believe it.-Lonoke Democrat.
 No mention is made in the above of tue $2 initiation fee invariably charge, one. half of which goes into the private pocket of the organizer. The "bosses" seem to have pretty fat thing, and if the money is put up with continuous regularity their pockets will be pretty well lined af ter a while.
